Digital to Slides


I was just wondering if it was possible to create slides from digital images. I know the new printing machines that they have for digital cameras actually exposes the image onto photographic paper that then gets developed. I was just wondering if they had one that exposed it onto a 35mm slide?

Thanks for the great website!!!

  Yes it is quite possible to output a digital file to a transparency.

  Just to make sure, by transparency you mean a slide that will work in a slide projector? Any idea of how much and who would be able to do it?

Thanks again,

  Yes - Jeff is referring to the kind of transparencies you are talking about.

Many photo labs use an imagesetter to make slides from digital files. One that I used to work with asked for 14MB TIFF files. Call around your local pro photo shops and see who offers this service and what kind of file size they need for quality slide output.
